This provides an opportunity for all students of Taraana Academy to follow an academic career in Kathak and pursue a certification or a diploma course in Kathak. While it is not compulsory for our students to give examinations, we encourage students to do so.
These examinations offer the option for in-person sessions for students located in Chennai, India, or remote participation for those residing in other cities or engaging in online learning.
We conduct exams twice a year: April-May session and November-December session.
The examination structure includes six grades up to the Intermediate Vocational Graded Examinations, with an additional two levels for those aiming to achieve the Advanced Levels.
